Do the Scion XB have a timing chain or a timing belt ? Thanks

xB's (1st and 2nd gen) have chains.

another question....(didn't want to start a new thread)

anyone if these will eventually get a 5spd auto?

I would think the 3rd gen would have a 5 speed auto but who knows for sure until we see the specs?

when's the 3rd gen coming out? are there any pics of it online? i searched 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation and didn't find many pictures.

Timing chain??? Wow, thats weird. Most 4-bangers nowdays have timing belts. Glad to see Toyota went with chain instead of belt.

Belts are quieter but chains are more duarable and require little to no maintainance. Toyota is moving towards less maintainance work so they are moving to chains in ALL vehicles. In fact there is only one vehicle right now that has a timing belt that I can think of right now.
